Rebecca (Becca) Good, the wife of Renee Nicole Good, has broken her silence following the passing of her partner during an encounter with ICE agents in Minneapolis.
On January 7, the 37-year-old mother of three was fatally wounded after an ICE agent attacked her vehicle during a confrontation. Since then, the incident has sparked national outrage and an ongoing federal investigation.
- Becca Good issued her first statement since her wife, Renee, was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a neighborhood confrontation.
- Federal officials claim the agent acted in self-defense, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey slammed the justification.
- A fundraiser for Renee’s three children has surged past $1.5 million as the incident sparks national outrage.
- The FBI has officially launched an investigation to resolve the conflicting reports between local and federal authorities.
“We had whistles. They had g*ns,” said Becca.

In a statement to Minnesota Public Radio News on January 9, Becca began by thanking the public for the support her family has received from across the country and around the world.
Her words came after a GoFundMe for Renee’s family closed after surpassing $1.5 million from about 38,000 donations. The fundraiser was set up to support Renee’s wife and three children.
She then described her wife as someone whose defining quality was “kindness” that “radiated out of her”.

Becca further explained that she and Renee had recently moved to Minnesota to start over and build a better life together with their kid.
“What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community. We made friends and spread joy.”
“Any place we were together was home,” Becca said, adding that Minneapolis had finally felt like a place of peace and safety. “That has been taken from me forever.”
Renee leaves behind three children from two previous marriages, including a six-year-old son who had already lost his father in 2023.
In the statement, Becca emphasized that she is now left alone to raise their child.
“I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.”

According to Becca’s statement and multiple reports, the incident occurred shortly after Renee had dropped her son off at school in the morning.
While driving back home, the couple came upon a group of ICE agents operating in their neighborhood.
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors,” Becca wrote. “We had whistles. They had g*ns.”

Additionally, video from the scene showed an ICE agent approaching the couple’s Honda SUV and attempting to open the driver’s side door.
As Renee tried to drive away, another agent, identified as Jonathan E. Ross, moved in front of her vehicle and fired three bullets into her car, striking her in the head. The SUV then crashed into parked cars nearby.
In the clip, Becca can be heard at the scene crying out that her wife had been sh*t. In the immediate aftermath, she blamed herself for encouraging Renee to stop.
“I made her come down here; it’s my fault.”
Immediately after, Renee was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.

Federal officials and the Department of Homeland Security have stated that the ICE agent involved acted in self-defense and that the shooting was justified based on fear for the agent’s life and public safety.
They also alleged Renee “weaponized” her vehicle and attempted to strike the officer.
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has strongly challenged that narrative.

After reviewing the footage, Frey alleged that the explanation offered by federal authorities was “b*llsh*t”, adding that the video showed an agent recklessly using power.
Supporting Frey’s claim, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz echoed those concerns and called for a full and transparent investigation to ensure accountability.
Following the conflicting reports, the FBI has since launched an investigation. Meanwhile, the state and county officials have also sought access to evidence, including Renee’s vehicle.
Renee Good will be remembered as a mother, partner, and advocate for kindness

Beyond the political fallout, Becca Good’s statement centered on who Renee was before the tragedy.
Renee was a mother, a wife, a poet, and a writer who believed deeply in compassion and mutual care.
As reported by Bored Panda, Renee’s mother, Donna Ganger, told MST, “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
Even her former brother-in-law, Joseph Macklin, told The Daily Mail that she had unnecessarily exposed herself to a dangerous situation.
“She had nothing to do with the ICE agents or immigration, so she shouldn’t have been there. She should have minded her own business,” he said.
In her closing words, Becca expressed that Renee’s legacy should not be defined by the violence of her passing but by the values she lived by every day.
“We honor her memory by living her values,” Becca wrote.

“Rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”
As the investigation continues, Renee’s demise has not only left a family in grief, but a community questioning immigration enforcement tactics and the use of lethal force during civilian encounters.
“My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones,” said one netizen
Poll Question
Thanks! Check out the results:
It is straight up m****r. They were trying to drive away. The ICE team could have let them do so. Firing a gun was unnecessary. The car was not driving straight towards anyone, the ICE agent could have stepped to the side of the thought they were about to be hit by the car.
That's what happens when untrained white nationalists are given guns and unchecked authority.

Instead of just letting her leave, he put himself in harms way and called it self defense. A similar incident happened just around the corner from where I live a few years ago. Could have let the kid go and caught him later but officer stepped in front of the vehicle with his gun drawn and fired

Most significant are those who justify k*****g her by her 'not obeying orders'. Being k****d instantly for lack of subordination is the end of civilization. That's what 'MAGA' is all about. Even those weirdos who try to claim self-defence seem tame compared to that. This is fascism in full effect.
BY LAW, ICE HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER US CITIZENS. ICE is NOT a police force and has NO right to ask someone to get out of their vehicle unless they have a verifiable reason to believe an undocumented immigrant was in the vehicle. They can only draw firearms if they are under immediate physical threat, which was certainly not the case here.
And, let's not forget, ICE of today is acting way beyond their mandate. ICE was never intended to become Trump's gestapo.

The people that say that think ICE is above the law. They are loser hypocrites.

Predicable America ,even worse now that orange lunatic is in charge ! n yes the money won’t bring her back , but it will make their lives much easier bills wise , while they grieve work out life without her wife , n the lads mother ,they can take time to figure their new awful world out , my heart breaks for them all xx and I hope that ice t w a t is sent down for cold blooded m u r d e r and gets life meaning LIFE ie never sees the light of day again !
The fbi hasnt STARTED an investigation: theyve begun a cover up and rewriting of events to suit the trump narrative. The very first thing the fbi did was freeze out local law enforcement and independent investigators. Patel is a trump loyalist and will do as hes told.
We need to stand up and turn this country upside f*****g down until Jonathon Ross is arrested and charged with m****r. I’ve watched the shooting frame by frame and Ross was not even in front of her. 100% percent m****r. Disgusting POS.
As a Canadian, I'll be boycotting the The Divided States of America even harder.
Gotta love how MAGAs do logical backflips to justify m***r. "Renee might have tried to drive away so obviously she deserved to be shot. " "George Floyd might have been high so obviously he deserved to be strangled. " What the hell does a POC, a woman or a LGBT person do to be sure that a f4sc1st with a gun won't randomly decide they deserve to d*e?
In MAGAts’ eyes, they only need to draw breath to deserve to die. Because MAGAts hate what they don’t understand and are jealous of (especially the accomplishments of anyone in those groups that MAGAts just aren’t intellectually or morally capable of) and lash out violently toward them. They’re essentially eliminating all the competition for the goodies without realizing the 1% has already hoarded all the goodies and is just using them to grab even more. There will be no payout form the 1% for all their efforts. There will just be a lot of kicks to the curb with the words, “I got mine, f**k you, suckers” ringing in their ears
Load More Replies...In a case like this, shouldn't an investigation be conducted to dispel any doubt about the facts, beyond the various interpretations put forward by different people based on a few videos? If no investigation is opened, it's safe to say that the American government is embarking on a very worrying and dangerous path. It's also very worrying that some people seem to find it normal for someone unknown to the police to be k****d in this way.
To those who complain about leftists: I'm not "leftist" as you say, I'm more centrist. I don't like extremists, whether they're left-wing or right-wing. But I am a humanist. If I were in Minneapolis, I too would have participated in the anti-ICE protests to prevent them from arresting innocent people, who aren't even criminals and very often, not even illegal. What's happening with ICE is unspeakable! It's the mercenary militia of a dictator controlled by Miller, a racist! I'd like to add that we clearly see Jonathan Ross draw his weapon as Renee's car turned, and he then positioned himself IN FRONT of the car. Furthermore, at the speed she was going, even if she had wanted to, she couldn't have hit him. That's an a***e of power, period.
I agree here. I wouldn't say I'm a leftist by any means. I typically vote right (which, admittedly for Australia isn't as meaningful as it is for the US. It doesn't entail voting in proven felons, for example. I digress). But I'm anti-murdering people who have an opinion. Sorry, not sorry. 🤷🏽♀️
Load More Replies...Rest in peace Mrs. Good and may your survivors take comfort. That horrible terrorist organization who offed her is setting a dangerous precedent: as long as someone leaps in front of a car, they're allowed to end the driver's life. It's deplorable how many american fascists (traitors) are defending what could easily happen to them next.
Agreed. I hope Becca can at least get some comfort out of knowing that despite this awful atrocity, there are still many that support her and Renee.
Load More Replies...ICE agents ARE. NOT. LAW. ENFORCEMENT. They ARE. NOT. POLICE. The only (LIMITED) jurisdiction they hold is over those they have REASONABLE belief of being undocumented. They have ZERO jurisdiction over ANY American citizen unless they have a legitimate warrant for the exact person they are trying to engage with. They cannot arrest them. They cannot detain them. They are to draw their guns ONLY if their life is truly in danger (ie., they are NOT to be drawn and brandished as threats). They have NO jurisdiction to perform random traffic stops. They have NO jurisdiction to drag ANY American citizen for whom they do not have a direct and legitimate warrant for from a vehicle, home, or business. They have no right to order them to stop if they are in a moving vehicle. They have no right to order them to leave. They have no right to order them to get out of said vehicle. They have no right to attempt to enter said vehicle, themselves. NONE. THEY ARE NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
"What is your main takeaway from the Minneapolis incident?" That officially, everyone, including the victim herself, is to blame for her death except the guy that shot her. He seems to have shot her out of annoyance more than anything else. In front of multiple cameras, including his own that caught him calling her a 'F***ing B***h'. Immediately, the federal government started spinning the narrative: Deny, be hostile, blame someone else, claim necessity, dehumanize someone, be rude, glorify your actions, be defensive and then claim the high ground. Attack the media if they keep asking questions. The narrative is designed to muddy the story just enough for plausible deniability. People will see only what they want to see. Will they see the evidence, or will they see the narrative?
The decision about blame was made the moment that Secretary Gnome called Good a domestic terrorist. She was a protestor who decided to use her vehicle to block ICE. Life doesn't give well meaning or even righteous people plot armor. If you are going to protest you cannot be perceived as a deadly threat to the police or you will end up injured or dead.
Load More Replies...My semi-annual downvote time. This is what happens when an imbecilic force meets a moronic object. The officer was an dangerous idiot for standing in front of the car. The driver and her partner were absolute morons for using a deadly weapon as part of their protest. If you drive your car in the direction of police there is a chance you will get shot. You have pointed a deadly weapon at a person who is armed with a deadly weapon. Could the officer have stepped out of the way? Absolutely, but he went for his gun instead. Could the lady who died exited her vehicle and taken an arrest or detainment. Absolutely, but she tried to drive off instead. Her death is a tragedy for her family and friends. Civil rights lawsuits don't resurrect the dead.
What load of reich wing bull$hit. You idiots are pathetic. Love how you try and paint your little picture of this woman's life, using words and ideas that conservatives drool over: she was gay, they were"agitators", on welfare, etc. Nothing you said justifies her m*rder. NOTHING. She did NOT hit the ICE fool. When someone is hit by a car, they don't calmly walk away and reholster their weapon.
